Arielle Jacobs is Broadway's new Princess Jasmine!

After originating the role in the Australian production, Arielle is all set to join the Broadway company of Aladdin on 20th February next year following the departure of Courtney Reed.

Honestly, I think this is one of the best cast replacements Disney Theatrical have ever done. I seriously can't think of anyone I would rather see take over the role and I hope she has a long and magical run with the show. Welcome back to Agrabah, Arielle!
